It’s mid January in New Hampshire, and it just won’t snow. Every day is partly sunny and around freezing. The snow depth map for the state is depressing. It hasn’t gotten better since our (Too) Early Season Run Down the Sherburne Here’s the snow depth as of today Four inches is not enough to cover […]
We started our vacation with a day of lift serve skiing at Beaver Creek Resort. We thought it prudent, before skiing up to our backcountry hut, to spend a day at lower elevation. We stayed the night in Avon at 7,400′. In the morning, it was pouring buckets of snow. The locals complained the snow […]

Tyson joined the Wonalancet Out Door Club because they maintain the trails in the Sandwich range. They also publish a trail map to the range. It’s the best trail map! Not only does it have the hiking trails, it has the cross country ski trails and the snowmobile trails. It has obvious colors for wilderness […]
The first thing we saw when we arrived at Crotched was a line of people from the base of the mountain to halfway across the parking lot. We almost turned around and went home then. It’s early season, so we usually spend some time at a lift serve ski area practicing technique and protecting our […]
